Report: Larry Nassar Stabbed Multiple Times at Federal Prison; In Stable Condition

Convicted sex offender Larry Nassar was stabbed multiple times during an altercation at United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida, according to Michael Balsamo and Michael R. Sisak of the Associated Press.

Nassar is in stable condition after getting stabbed in the back and chest, per the AP.

The Bureau of Prisons confirmed a prisoner was transported to a nearby hospital because of the incident but declined to identify anyone involved.

"No staff or other inmates were injured and at no time was the public in danger," the bureau said, per NBC News' Erik Ortiz. "An internal investigation is ongoing."

Nassar is a former sports medicine doctor who worked at Michigan State and USA Gymnastics. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to seven counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in Michigan state court and pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges.

A Michigan judge sentenced him to 40 to 125 years in prison after he had already been sentenced to 60 years by a federal judge.

During his sentencing hearing, 156 women came forward with victim impact statements to detail the abuse they suffered at Nassar's hands. Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney were among the women who had come forward.

The fallout from Nassar's arrest and guilty pleas brought significant scrutiny upon USA Gymnastics and the FBI, as both failed to properly act when each was first alerted to allegations against him.

USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee reached a $380 million settlement with the survivors of Nassar's assaults in 2021.

A group of women filed suit against the FBI in June 2022 after the Department of Justice published a 2021 report detailing the bureau's investigative lapses that allowed Nassar's abuse to continue for a period of time.
